Chapter 675: Chapter 454: With You by His Side, I Believe He Will Be Fine_1

When Nanxi returned to the resting room, Han Qing was still not there, with only Lin Pinzhi sitting straight there checking the data.

Nanxi checked the time, it was five minutes to ten. Han Qing should be coming, right!

She reached out to stroke her neck, pulling her long hair forward to conceal the scar on her neck.noveldrama

Upon seeing her come in, Lin Pinzhi furrowed his brows slightly, “What’s wrong? You look a bit pale.”

Nanxi shook her head, “It’s nothing, I’m fine, thank you for your concern, senior.”

Nanxi sat down in a chair next to her, feeling a complicated mix of emotions.

About three minutes later, one of the staff came in to refill the teapot, saying that Director Han was a bit delayed and would be a few minutes late.

It was not until ten-fifteen that Han Qing finally showed up!

Han Qing was dressed in a professional skirt suit, hair piled on top of her head, a slender figure, exquisite makeup and a smile so perfect it was dazzling.

Indeed, she was a beauty!

Han Qing came over and shook hands with the two of them, “Sorry, I’m late. I made you both wait.”

Lin Pinzhi smiled lightly, “No worries, it’s fine that you’re here.”

Han Qing nodded, her smile became much more amiable when she shook hands with Nanxi, “Nanxi, long time no see!”

“Long time no see, Miss Han!”

From the side, Lin Pinzhi watched the two of them and their clasped hands together, it felt like something was off,

His thin lips pressed together, but he didn’t say anything!

At ten-twenty, everything was ready. The interview officially started with Lin Pinzhi in charge and Nanxi assisting.

During the interview, Nanxi discovered that their magazine’s decision to interview Han Qing was not unreasonable.

Han Qing’s demeanor and the richness of her speech was not something ordinary women could compare with.

When discussing the company’s business operations, her language was concise and precise. Each word hit the mark, her rhetoric sharp, earning her everyone’s approval.

Noticing Lin Pinzhi on the side nodding at her repeatedly, full of admiring gestures.

Nanxi felt slightly insecure and quickly lowered her gaze.

During the interview, Han Qing received two quick phone calls which didn’t interrupt the interview and allowed Lin Pinzhi and Nanxi a brief respite.

At this moment, Han Qing excused herself and walked over to the window to answer her phone, allowing Nanxi to breathe out a sigh of relief and relax her tense nerves.

Lin Pinzhi asked Nanxi, “Are you tired?”

Nanxi shook her head with a smile, “No, I’m not tired. Thank you for your concern, senior.”

Lin Pinzhi laughed, “Honestly speaking, rather than working with me doing youth mental health education, you seem more suited to culture and economics! For now, you can train within our team first. If the opportunity arises, I will recommend you to other teams, where your capabilities can be showcased better.”

Nanxi immediately waved her hands, “No, no senior, don’t say that. I’ve never thought about that at all. I feel very happy working with you and Feifei.”

Seeing her reaction, Lin Pinzhi couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t be so nervous. It’s just a consideration for now, but honestly, I don’t feel like giving up such a good helper and talent to other teams. I would hate to see you go.”

Hearing this, Nanxi bashfully lowered her head, “Stop it senior, you’re teasing me.”

Not far away, Han Qing, who was on the phone, turned her face to see the two of them chatting happily on the sofa. A flash of coldness swept through her eyes!

…

They were busy until half-past eleven when the interview finally came to a close.

Han Qing invited both of them for dinner. They wanted to decline, but Han Qing said there were still a few points she wanted to go over with them to avoid any errors during the drafting process!

So, both of them agreed!

On the way to the restaurant, Lin Pinzhi asked Nanxi and Han Qing to go first, saying he had to buy something!

Once Lin Pinzhi left, Nanxi felt awkward. Actually, she didn’t want to be alone with Han Qing, even though the two had been alone together more than once!

The restaurant was near the Yueting Group. Nanxi and Han Qing took their seats and waited for Lin Pinzhi, so they didn’t order immediately and settled for two cups of tea!

Looking at Nanxi, Han Qing smiled and asked, “I was too engrossed in work before and didn’t get the chance to ask, how have you been lately?”

“Um, thank you, I’m doing quite well!”

“What about… Yinchu?”

“…”

Seeing Nanxi didn’t answer, Han Qing looked embarrassed, “Sorry, I… I was just asking as a friend!”

“Oh, he is also doing well!” Nanxi answered, her eyes sparkling.

“With you by his side, I believe he will be okay!” Han Qing spoke calmly, as if she had truly let go.

Picking up her cup of tea, she suddenly asks, “By the way, when are you two planning to have the wedding?”

Nanxi’s eyes flickered. She initially wanted to say she didn’t know, but her stubbornness surfaced and recalling Yinchu mentioning that it would be within this year, she pressed her lips together and answered, “Probably within this year!”

Han Qing was stunned, then started laughing lightly, “I see, that’s good to hear. It’s almost mid-September now. It seems like good things are coming your way, Nanxi. Congratulations, don’t forget to send me an invitation when the time comes!”

Nanxi nodded, “Alright!”

Lin Pinzhi returned quickly, panting heavily – it was unclear what he had been up to.

The three of them sat down. Nanxi and Lin Pinzhi were on one side, and Han Qing sat alone on the other. Han Qing asked the two what they wanted to eat.

“Anything!”

“Anything!”

Both people blurted out the same thing simultaneously. For a moment, they were taken aback. Han Qing was the first to laugh, “If people didn’t know you two were supervisor and subordinate, they’d think you were a couple!”

With that one sentence, both of them were taken aback. Seeing that Lin Pinzhi didn’t say anything, Nanxi didn’t want to say anything either.

What she couldn’t understand was why Han Qing, knowing her relationship with Yinchu, was making such jokes. Wasn’t that inappropriate?

During the meal, Han Qing expressed her opinions and requirements regarding the draft. Nanxi meticulously noted everything down in a small notebook she had with her.

“Right, I forgot to ask. Who will be the chief reporter for this interview?” Han Qing asked casually after sipping her wine.

Lin Pinzhi paused for a moment, then said, “Me!”

Han Qing was stunned. She had inquired previously and learned that Nanxi was the chief reporter for a project in Lin Pinzhi’s hand. This time, was he taking matters into his own hand?

Her eyes flashed with surprise, but there was more amusement in them than anything else.

She reached out her hand to Lin Pinzhi with a faint smile, “Well then, I’ll have to trouble you, Team Leader Lin!”

Lin Pinzhi shook her hand, “You’re too polite, Miss Han. This is my job!”

Just then, Han Qing’s cellphone rang. She picked it up, looked at it, then apologized to the two of them, “Sorry, I have to take a call!”

The two nodded and Han Qing got up to leave.

Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like her tension had finally eased!

All of a sudden, a hand reached over and grabbed her. Nanxi was startled. Seeing Lin Pinzhi extending one hand towards her neck, she tried to dodge, but he sharply commanded, “Don’t move!”

Nanxi froze and didn’t dare to move. She could only feel her hair being lifted with his warm, soft hand holding heat. His handsome face was right in front of her, so close that she could clearly see his eyelashes…

They were dense, long…

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the restaurant, a man paused, watching the man and woman sitting across from each other from a distance. His expression was unreadable.
